Do you have serious creases and folds on your face that you want to get rid of? Before you turn to surgery, consider the viable nonsurgical alternative: Juvéderm® VOLIFT®!
In Spring 2013, Allergan made headlines by announcing the launch of their newest injectable filler, VOLIFT®, and Edelstein Cosmetic is one of the first cosmetic surgery centres in Canada to offer it.
VOLIFT® is a hyaluronic acid filler designed for the treatment of deep skin depressions negatively affected by aging, such as severe nasolabial folds (but not for the area around the eyes or between the eyebrows). It can also enhance facial contours […]
Injectable fillers are products that add volume to facial contours. Also known as dermal fillers, the current market leaders are Juvéderm® and Restylane®.
Juvéderm® and Restylane® are manufactured by two different medical companies (Allergan and Medicis) but share many similarities, including price. Both are based on the therapeutic benefits of purified hyaluronic acid, derived from non-animal sources, which means that there is no risk of an allergic reaction or transmission of disease.
Juvéderm® and Restylane® address the following aesthetic concerns affecting the face:
Forehead creases
Under eye hollows
Hollow cheeks
Lack of definition of the nose tip
Nasolabial folds
Insufficient lip volume or asymmetry
Vertical lip lines
Marionette lines (creases […]
Introducing Juvéderm® Volbella®, the new gold standard for non-surgical lip augmentation available in Toronto at Edelstein Cosmetic. Volbella® is an injectable filler based on hyaluronic acid (HA) that provides a desirable improvement in the lip contour, boosting volume, smoothing vertical creases (smoker’s lines), and achieving symmetry – all in a single treatment session that usually lasts 20 minutes or less.

VOLUMA® is the newest member of the Juvéderm® family. It is designed to restore facial contours that have been negatively affected by a long-neglected sign of aging: volume loss.
Aging does more to your face than add a few wrinkles here and there; it causes the face to sag and hollow due to the re-distribution of fat and the changes that occur to the facial skeleton. While other products only smooth away wrinkles and creases (considered to be a “two-dimensional” concern because it only affects the skin’s surface), VOLUMA® takes on the more complex, three-dimensional issue of volume loss for a […]
Juvéderm® is North America’s most popular facial filler and is more popular than Restylane. It consists of a smooth gel formulated with hyaluronate (aka HA), a substance that aids the skin in maintaining proper hydration and volume. The substance is also responsible for giving the eyes their shape and lubricating the joints.
HA is a naturally occurring linear polysaccharide that is able to bind 1,000 times its volume in water. When healthy amounts of HA are present in the body, spaces that exist between elastin and collagen fibres are sufficiently filled to provide a good supportive structure to your skin. As […]

Why is the pH level of your skin so important?
When your skin is at a good pH level, your skin is able to better defend itself against the bacteria, impurities and pollutants that it is constantly exposed. Also known as the acid mantle, this is essentially a layer that protects against outside invaders. Generally, the pH balance of skin ranges anywhere from 4 to 6.5, with 5.5 being the happy medium. At this level, the acid mantle is slightly acidic, which is ideal. Things that determine the pH balance of your skin include fatty acids, free amino acids and lactic […]
Understanding how Botox works is the first step in deciding whether or not you’d like the injection for yourself, but the next crucial step is finding a doctor that you’re comfortable with to perform the injection. The only way to ensure you have a proper Botox treatment that goes according to plan, is to ensure you find the best doctor for the job.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox helps wrinkles to disappear by relaxing the muscles in your face for a certain period of time. This process allows the skin on your face to have a rest from the constant use it […]
